Bhagavad Gita - Telugu Spiritual Discussion (Chapter 18 of 18)

Swami Paripoornananda Saraswati was born in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh, on 01st November 1972 as the only son of Smt Meenakshi and Sri Balachandran. After his formal education he joined a Vedic School to study the Vedas, at the behest of his mother and studied the Krishna Yajurveda for one year. Not being satisfied with mere recitation of the veda and having developed a keen interest of the Vedic philosophy He visited several ashrams in pursuit of higher knowledge. His pursuit came to an end when He met Swami Dayananda Saraswati at Hrishikesh. He became his ardent disciple and started studying Vedanta under his tutelage in 1990. Having completed his course he received Brahmacharya Deeksha. Then he came to Visakhapatnam and started conducting the Geeta Jnana Yajna-s in 1995. After 32 Geeta Jnana Yajna-s he was initiated in to the Sanyasa by Swami Dayananda Saraswati in 2000. Since then he has been promoting and propagating the Advaita Philosophy and the principles of Sanatana Dharma by going to every nook and corner of Andhra Pradesh. Not being content with his spiritual service through discourses, he turned his attention to social service and welfare activities and established the “Sreepeetham”, in Kakinada, East Godavari District, which is the hub of his entire spiritual, social and welfare activities. “SREE” stands for Vedic education and also for ‘wealth of all kinds’. From among many meanings of it, Swamiji has chosen the meaning “Jnanam” i.e, “Learning”. Thus “Sreepeetham” means ‘the seat of knowledge’. The idea of founding the Sreepeetham struck to Swamiji in December 1998 and the foundation stone was laid on the holy Ratha Saptami day in February 1999. It became a reality by May 2001. Swami Dayananda Saraswati, the poojya Gurudev of Swamiji, installed the idols of Sri Lakshmi Ganapati, Subrahmanya Swami, and Sri Aiswaryamba sahita Sundareswara Swami in the ashram. The “Sreepeetham’ is on the Kakinada – Pithapuram road, 5 km. from Kakinada Railway station and 10 km. from Samalkot/Pithapuram Railway Stations. It is situated in a sprawling three acre land and has become the center for Swamiji’s Spiritual and Social activities, attracting thousands of devotees with its serene atmosphere and divine ambience. Swamiji has taken up the spread of the Sanatana Dharma and Vedic tradition in all earnestness and the following are the various wings established to achieve his ideals The Bhagavad Gita (/ˈbʌɡəvəd ˈɡiːtɑː/; Sanskrit: भगवद्गीता, bhagavad-gītā in IAST, Sanskrit pronunciation: [ˈbʱaɡəʋəd̪ ɡiːˈt̪aː], lit. "Song of the Lord"), often referred to as the Gita, is a 700 verse Hindu scripture in Sanskrit that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata (chapters 23–40 of the 6th book of Mahabharata). The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Lord Krishna. Facing the duty as a warrior to fight the Dharma Yudhha or righteous war between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is counselled by Lord Krishna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and establish Dharma." Inserted in this appeal to kshatriya dharma (chivalry) is "a dialogue ... between diverging attitudes concerning methods toward the attainment of liberation (moksha)". The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of the concept of Dharma, theistic bhakti, the yogic ideals of moksha through jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga (spoken of in the 6th chapter) and Samkhya philosophy. It is a Bhagavata explanation of the Purusha Sukta and the Purushamedha Srauta yajna described in the Satapatha Brahmana. Numerous commentaries have been written on the Bhagavad Gita with widely differing views on the essentials. Vedanta commentators read varying relations between Self and Brahman in the text: Advaita Vedanta sees the non-dualism of Atman (soul) and Brahman as its essence, whereas Bhedabheda and Vishishtadvaita see Atman and Brahman as both different and non-different, and Dvaita sees them as different. The setting of the Gita in a battlefield has been interpreted as an allegory for the ethical and moral struggles of the human life. The Bhagavad Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi referred to the Gita as his "spiritual dictionary".
